Abstract: Performing a redirect in a browser viewing a page in a first-party domain is described, comprising the steps of: upon a user visiting a first-party website 504, checking for the presence of a cookie in the browser associated with a third-party domain 506, and in the absence of the third-party cookie, the method comprises: redirecting the browser from the first-party domain to the third-party domain 508 and, in response, returning from the third-party domain, a fixed value cookie for storage in the browser 510. The fixed cookie is a piece of data having a fixed value. The value of the data does not change and is the same value irrespective of the user. By returning a fixed value cookie to the users browser, the amount of processing required by the server (120B, figure 3) within the third-party domain is small compared to known techniques where cookies are calculated and returned. In step 514 the fixed cookie is updated to a persistent cookie to include user specific data such as information identifying the user of the browser. Counting the number of occurrences of fixed value cookies associated with each of the first-party domains may occur.
